The Caribbean Rhythms Pure Cane Demerara Sugar has been a wonderful addition to my kitchen. This 1.5 lb bag comes filled with golden, coarse crystals that have a rich, molasses-like flavor—perfect for sweetening coffee, tea, or topping baked goods. It adds a nice crunch and a deeper sweetness that white sugar just can’t match. I’ve especially enjoyed using it for making syrups and in recipes that call for a more natural sugar option. It dissolved very quickly, decent size, and normal color. The packaging is simple but sturdy, and the sugar itself looks and feels fresh. It’s also great for people who want a less refined alternative to regular sugar without compromising on taste. The value is solid for the quality, and a little goes a long way since the flavor is so bold and satisfying. Read more
Rich, nutty, with a hint of molasses, it tastes like no other sugar. Been ordering this for years and never had a problem with the sturdy packaging. Fantastic for topping cookies especially shortbread. Adds a wonderful crunch and flavor, here’s a recipe to get you started with this wonderfully flavorful sugar!

If you are using salted butter reduce salt to ½ tsp 1 tsp salt ¾ cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 ⅓ cups unbleached all purpose flour 1 large egg white lightly beaten with 1 Tbs. water ¼ cups Demerara sugar In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, salt sugar, and vanilla, then beat in the flour.
